Bam Margera is alive and well, as he proved during a recent appearance on “Steve-O’s Wild Ride!” podcast — but according to the skateboarder and stunt star, that wasn't true just one month ago.
podcast — but according to the skateboarder and stunt star, that wasn't true just one month ago.
“I basically was pronounced dead on ... Dec. 8," Margera explained during his third visit to Steve-O's show."I did not know that I had gnarly COVID. My body was shutting down, and I went into four seizures, each one lasting 10 to 20 minutes. And on the fourth one, I bit my tongue so hard, it was like nearly falling off. It got so swollen and puffy it wouldn't fit in my mouth, and I was drinking the infected blood, which gave me pneumonia as well.
“I woke up five days later thinking I was there for a couple of hours,” Margera recalled. “They’re like, ‘Dude you’ve been here for nearly a week. We tried to take the tube out, and you weren’t breathing on your own.’", Margera’s case shows it can be serious for those it does impact. He said he spent a total of eight days in the hospital.
